Annual Maintenance
For models with a range-style side burner
After a period of nonuse we recommend that you
perform the following maintenance procedures for your
safety.
WARNING: Check hose before each use of barbecue
for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is
found to be damaged in any way, do not use the
barbecue. Replace using only Weber authorized
replacement manifold assembly. Order from Weber-
Stephen Products Co., Customer Service Center or
authorized dealer.
Inspect the burners for correct flame pattern. Clean
if necessary, following the procedures outlined in
the "General Maintenance" section of this manual.
Check all gas fittings for leaks.
WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every
time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or
brush to apply it.
Make sure main burners are in the OFF position.
Make sure side burner is OFF. Remove valve control
knob and screws. Remove enamel top.
Refer to the “Step-by-Step Instruction” booklet for
removal and installation of control panel.
To perform leak checks: Turn on gas supply.
WARNING: Do not ignite burners while leak
checking.
Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the
soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If
bubbles form or if a bubble grows there is a leak.
Note - Since some leak test solutions, including soap
and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections
should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks.
Check:
a) Hose to manifold connections. Figure 14 (a).
b) Regulator to tank connection. Figure 14 (b).
c) Manifold to side burner hose connection.
Figure 14 (c).
DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for
gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or
open flames in the area while you check
for leaks. This will result in a fire or
explosion which can cause serious bodily
injury or death, and damage to property.

Inspection and Cleaning of the Weber
Spider Stopper Guards
To inspect the Spider Stopper Guards, remove the
control panel and look to see if they have dust or dirt on
their outside surfaces. If they do, brush off the outside
surface of the Spider Stopper Guards with a soft bristle
brush (an old toothbrush for example). Check that there
are no gaps in the Spider Stopper Guards’ seams or in
the fit around the burners or valves. (See Section
"General Maintenance".)
